MANCHEMIL SArlitIMY EVEVINthrkT.7. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Since our reports of the state of trade, on Tuesday I last, the demand has considerably increased, and prices have been fully maintained, and in many - instances, an advance has been realized. Almost every ar ticle. in our trade in good request, particularly calicoes for printing, which have sold freely at a fur ther advance on last week's prices. Yarns continue to be much sought after, and prices for -this article are looking up ; indeed the complexion of trade is much altered fore the better, and ere long, we hope, we shall be able to state that dur work-people are fully employ ed. Cotton has not sold quite so well as last .week, nevertheless prices have been fully supported. THE ARMY. REVIEW OF THE 60th REGIMENT. PLYMOUTH, OC'G 2.—This highly disciplined regiment; com tnanded by Colonel ritinbury, was this day reviewed on the Hoe, by Major-General Sir John Cameron, K.C.B. The beauty of the morning attracted a great concourse of rank, beauty, and fashion thither ; bid the day turning out unfavourably, prevented most of the spectators from continuing long on the .ground. Not withstanding, this distinguished Regiment performed its various evolutions with a steadiness and accuracy which we expected from the high state of discipline it is in, owing to the indefatigable ex. ertions of Colonel Sunbury and the Officers ; and gaining them the approbation of our worthy Lieut.-Governor.

On Friday, a Meeting of the Directors and Shareholders in the above Company, took place at the London Tavern, pursuant to advertisement. Sir W. Itawmis in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN stated, that the meeting wes convened pur &mint to the Deed of Settlement, that the object of it was to re ogee it Report of the Company's affairs, and to elect four Direc tors and an Auditor; the Report went so fully into the affairs of the Company, that he thought any remark upon it would be superfluous. He begged of Mr. Beetham, the Managing Director, to read the Report. Mr. Berman then read the Report, which stated, that the Meeting being the. Anniversary of the Establishment, the Directors deemed it their ‘!,,ty, thy the satisfaction of the Shareholders, to afford 'and give every information relative to the affairs of the Company. This being the first meeting held since the adoption by the Proprietors of the new system of Life Insurance in Decem bers lied, the Shareholders would, no doubt, feel Imhous to be in formed, how far it operated with a prospect of ulterior success ; the commencement 01 those arrangement in fact, were made in Jan. last, hut their active operation could he only elated from April, and although the intermediate time enulel afford but a limited estimate of their value and importance to the public, or of their ad vantage to the institution, yet sufficient would he shown to the Propriltori upon which the future might be judged. The Report then stated that the premiums received for the last six months, compared with those received in the same months the preceding years, had increased eight times in the amount. The Report fur ther stated, that the Directors had caused tables to be calculated, showing the distinction between male and female lives, the correct ness of which are universally admitted ; being formed upon the tables of the Government Annuities, by which it is proved that the value of female life is always greater than that of a male; and it has been reserved to this Company to adopt a sys tem upon it, which offers alike an advantage to the public, ands fair source of profit to the proprietors. The premiums 'in the Fire Department had exceeded the losses in the year ending Midsummer last by a very large amount. The accounts being made up to Midsummer, the Directors have declared a dividend of five per cent. upon the capital of the Company. The Report then referred to some by-laws, by which the rynalification of a Director was increased to 60 shares, and that of the Auditors to 40, and gave the names of the Directors and Auditors going nut by rotation. It concluded by the Directors pledging themselves to use every exertion to promote the prosperity of the Company. A Shareholder moved that the report be received, and approved. —Carried unanimously. • • A Director congratulated the Proprietors upon the very satis factory statement, which was read, as to the affairs of the Ona pany generally, and expressed a hope that from the judicious management that was evinced in the concern, each succeeding Report would be still more gratifying.—(Cheers.) A Shareholder moved a vote of thanks to the Directors for the zeal they bad manifested in conducting the affairs of the Company, which was carried unanimously. Sir W. IftA wt,tris returned thanks on behalf of the Directors and himself, and assured the Proprietors that he felt [rent pleasure in presiding at their meeting, when so much unanimity prevailed, which must he equally grstifyincto the other Directors, as it was an acknowledgment on the part of the. Shareholders that they ap proved of the plan by which the affairs of the Company were con- ducted. Mr. COLE moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Beetharn, the Ma naging Director.---Carried unanimously. Mr. DmKase, in returning thanks, expressed his determina tion to avail himself of every opportunity to promote the interests of the Company.—(Chtuirs).—lle felt perfectly convinced that, at the next meeting of proprietors, the Directors would have the plea sure of producing a statement of the Company's affairs still more satisfactory than the present.—(Cheera.) Thanks were then voted to the Chairman. The Proprietors re elected the former Directors and Auditors. The Meeting then broke up. DEATH OY Mit. CONNOR, THE COMEDIAN.- This gentleman, wall known as it comedian, at Covent Garden Theatre, died taddenly on Saturday night. He had dined with Dowton, and other theatrical friends, at the house of Mr. Kenneth, print-seller, in bow-street, on Saturday afternoon. On his way home through St. James's Park, he was attacked with a fit of apoplexy, fell down, end instantly expire Al. As an actor he was celebrated for his Irish character*. The dispute between Lord Ponsonby and Captain • Sir John Phillimore, of his M a j esty ' s 'ship Thetis, ar i s i ng , as it is said, from the former appearing on the quarter deck in deshabille , has. led t o t h e mention of which we cot many anecdotes of ,Sir John, most of iverteou of elude to have been got up for the d • the pone, without regard to truth. A circumstance has however been mentioned to us, of the truth of w hi c h we have no doubt, which makes us think that Sir J o h n is the last matt who should be too nice in his puncti lios with regard to dress. While the Thetis was . a t Plymouth, Sir John appeared in the streets with a white beaver cocked-hat, with the usual gold L ice , The Commander-in -Chief at .the port, who is as dis tinguished for his attention to the regulations o as f than_ e se r vice, as for his gallantry and high character officer, having met Sir John in this dress, hinted, with his usual good humour, that it was not correct. " Not correct I" exclaimed Sir John, " I submit that I am dressed in strict conforthity to the regulations." " What r replied the Admiral, do you say that a white hat is In accordance with the instructions ?" " :The instructions," re j o i ne d Sir J o h n , is d o no t sa y • whether O. hat is to be white or black !" '-, NAVAL INTELLIGENCt.

Burney, alter% *hived at Spahead, in great distress, having been 28 days at sea, hound to Sierra Leone, anti obliged to put back to repair damages which she sustained in heavy gales of wind in the Bay of Biscay. The following narrative, written by an officer, describes her perilous escape from shipwreck, and the suf ferings of those on board " The Stentor sailed kom Gravetehd on the 14th September, and on the lath permed the Land's End, On the 28d and 24th,- we experienced a heavy gale ih lat. 47. long. 13. 19. when the ship spnurg.a leak, causing the pumps to be at work every half Hour. On. the 29th, when in lat. 44. 54. it came on to blow one of the severest hurricanes that ever was experienced ; the Cap tain, who had crossed the Atlantic 26 times, said he never saw the like ; the sea ran considerably higher than our mainmast, and resembled a complete foam; the wind was W.S.W. with the sea rolling front the Northward. From 1 a.m. the ship kept shipping sea after sea—all hands were at the pumps; the guns were thrown overboard, as well as every thing that could he got at. Now a scene came on, which beggars description : at twelve o'clock the Man at the helm gave a signal which was too well understood...the men rushed to the rigging, clinging to it in all parts--4 sea appeared which actually darkened the space between us and the sun ; it came lifting its head, until, with one horrid rush, it swept our decks, filled the whole of the after part of the aliip with water, carried away the bulwarks and dashed into the rigging, our main topsail was split into ten thousand atoms, and myself, who was in the back stays, bruised all over, and Capt. Perry, of the Royal African Corps, the-Com mending officer on beard, so severely injured, as to be obliged to be carried into the round-house. The knees of the ship were started by the violence of the shock. Every passenger on board was compelled to work at the pumps. We then attempted to put the ship before the wind, as our only chance of life, which, thank God, succeeded ; but at 6 p. m. to add to our misery, one of the pumps cheated, and the gale still continued, nor did it tit all abate until the next night, having lasted 42 hours. Our perils were not yet over, as we were all obliged for our safety to work incessantly at the pump to keep her afloat, and for these last nine days, we have never had off our wet clothes, our cabin being in undated with water, and all our things destroyed. The binnacle was also washed away, the boats stove in, and, to add to the con fusion, an alarm was spread of fire. Yet, amidst all the dangers, the Captain (Mr. Marshall), and the Agent (Lieutenant Burney), lost not their presence of mind, and to them our safety is greatly indebted. We are quite worn out with fatigues and sufferings." Letters from Cape Coast Castle state that the Brazen, 26, Capt. George Willem, was lying there, all well, on the 16th of July, having recently captured La Fortuna, a Portuguese schoener, with 258 slaves, 45 of whom died on the passage to Sierra Leone; and on the 6th of July she captured the Brazilian ship St. Benedict, fitted for a cargo of 690 slaves, but with only 25 on board. Major Bowen, one of the Commissioners, on his return from Gambia, comes home in the Brazen, and was shortly to sail for England. A beautifel brigantine, prize to the ship on% for mer cruise, will return to England with her. The Ann, smuggling lugger, belonging to Flushing, with a crew of 14 men, has been sent into Newcastle, captured on the tath ult. off the Yorkshire coast, by the Mermaid, Lieutenant Robertson, after having thrown a valuable cargo overboard during the chase, consisting of brandy, geneva, spirits, tobacco, tea, segars, and cards, forty-eight tubs of which were subsequently picked up, it gale of wind from the Southward preventing further looking for the rest. The Ann is a most beautiful vessel, of about 65 tons, nearly new, and exceedingly well found with every de scription of stores. On Tuesday arrived the Thetis frigate, Captain Sir John Phil limore, from Rio Janeiro, whither she conveyed the Right lion. Lord, Ponsonhy, Ambassador to the States of Buenos Ayres, on his way to the River Plate. Ibis Lordship has been engaged some time as a mediator in endeavouring to reconcile the exist ing differences between the 'Brazilian and the Buenos Ayrean Governments ; but the Emperor of Brazil is so ill-disposed to abandon his original designs upon part of that territory, that he opposes every obstacle to the negociations opened by the Govern ment for terminating the war. The expences of the war are very ' great, exceeding, it is calculated, the entire revenue of Rio Janeiro. Lord Ponsouby, it was understood, intended to proceed to his ulterior destination, in about ten days, in the Doris frigate, Sir J. G. Sinclair. It is not correct that the Brazilian frigate Netheroy had been taken in the River Plate (as was reported), by the Buenos Ayrean force, but the whole squadron was covered with disgrace, by its pusillanimous operations under its late Co mender, Admiral Count Lobo. His squadron consisted of size?* seven ships of all classes, which the Buenos Ayrean ships, coin• mended by Admiral Brown (a bold and intrepid man, formerly a master in the merchant service), constantly attacked, in detail, d In Cochrane, and beat them most shamefully. Admiral Lobo was awaiting, at Rio Janeiro, an inquiry into his conduct for cowardice. It has been discovered, however, that, by the Bra zilian laws, no Court can be at present constituted to meet his case, as the law declares the menthers of such must be officerasuperior in rank and authority to the accused. The Admiral had, more over, found an influential friend in the 'person of the Marchioness of Santos, who is A favourite at Court. We regret to learn, that the trade with the River Plite is nearly annihilated by the war which exists there; the merchants are suffering immense losses, by their goods perishing. The French and American Com manders at Rio have had a spirited expostulatory correspondence with the Brazilian Government on the subject of the right of blockade of the River Plate—a question which the Ame rican Commander (Captain Elliott) particularly disputes, and which lie is strongly disposed to put to the severe test of a forcible breach. He intended to sail thither shortly, with the Macedonian and Cyane, having sent on the Boston. The Portuguese line of battle ship, Don John VI. remained 'at Rio, the Deputation from Portugal not haiiing yet succeeded in their object.—lt is understood that the Emperor is determined to Marry his daughter to his brother, Don Miguel !—The Em peror has net yet imbibed all the taste for English politic which we could wish, but which we hope he soon will. The Empress is decidedly partial to the English, and, on all occasions, extremely agreeable to them. Muclref her time is passed in the healthful e mployment of hunting ; she rides (astride, according to the Aug.. I trian custom) from,. forty to fifty miles a day.—The case of the slave vessel, capturOlsy the Redwing, and afterwards taken by a Brazilian ship of war; under pretence of her being a pirate, was still undecided. The Brazilian Government had offered to release the officer (Mr. Faulkner, Mate of the Redwing), anti the'crew, upon Sir George Eyre undertaking to give them up again, if the vessel should be condemned, in their Courts, as a pirate. This the Admiral refused to do, and, consequently, they remain in con finement.-.-The Wellesley, 74, (flag-ship), intended to leave Rio in a few days, on a cruise to the Northward.—The surveying ship. Adventure, Captain P. P. King, and Beagle, Captain P.

Orders had gone for the Cambridge, Mer sey, and Eclair, to return round Cape Horn. The Warspite, 74, Commodore Sir James Brisban e, from India, wan appointed to take the command there. The Thetis experienced a heavy gale of wind on the 29th tilt. in crossing the Bay of Biscay; whilst laying to, a sea struck one of the guns, and upset it with as much apparent ease as it would a common spindle ; another washed a boat off the quarter, into which one of the bes t seamen in the ship (named' Paterson) had just got, to secure it, and he was drowned ; anti a third lifted the fore ports under the fore chan nels. The Thetis left Rio Janeiro on Aug. 14. She 'sailed this p morning for Plymouth, to he paid off, her period of service hav ing expired. , On Tuesday the Diamond frigate, Capt.

Moller EnEricit PAPERS: ODEssA, SEPT. 15.—We expect with iniptitienee the answer of the Divan to the peremptory ultimatum of our Empeior, the time for acceding to which expires on the 7tb of October. The claims of Russian subjects amount to six millions of silver rubles (twenty-four millions of francs), which Tokey would litiyg to pit; • • When we eOnsider thi crisis iti which the Turkish Go vernment now is, we cannot believe dial it will reftile to grant whatever is required of it.

Our accounts from Constantinople are of the 9th of Sep tember. The sixth and richest part of that capital has been the prey of the fire kindled by the party of the Janis saries. The loss of the Government is estimated at 200 millions of piastres. It is amidst these disasters that the Minister of Russia presented on the 4th September the ultimattim of his So vereign. It is said that the Reis tffendi had already been apprised of it through an indirect channel. On receiving the dispatch, he exclaimed, " It is resolved then to put the dagger to our throats !" The circumstances are serious, and the consequences may be felt throughout the East.—Gazette Universelle. PARIS, OCT. 6.—The Moniteur publishes the treaty concluded on the Bth January, 1826, at Rio de Janeiro, between his Majesty and the Emperor of Brazil, with the following formula. (From the Moniteur of Friday.) (After the Treaty with Brazil, and the Order of carry ing it into effect, is the following) : ORDINANCE OF THE KING. " Charles, by the Grace of God, &c.

From the date of the publication of the pre sent Ordinance, Brazil ships coming from any place what ever into the ports of France, shall pay no higher ehargei for pilotage, docks (haulm), and quarantine, than after the rate fixed for French ships. " 11. The produce of the soil and manufactures of Brazil imported from the ports of that empire into those of France by Brazilian ships, shall pay only the same duties as are levied on the same productions brought from the same ports by French ships, provided they are accompanied ivith certificates of origin, delivered by the officers of Cus toms at the port of embarkation, and attested by the Consuls or Vice Consuls of France in the same port; which attestations shall be supplied by that of the local authorities, in case there should be no Consular Agent of France in the port in question.

Official notice thereof has been published in the Barcelona 'Gazette. MADRID, SEPT. 25.—This day is fixed for the Court to leave its residence at St. Ildefonso,. and be transferred to the Escurial, where it is to retain during the autumn. Mr. Lamb received, the day before yesterday, a courier, announcing Mr. Canning's arrival at Paris. Another is expected this week from Lisbon, on its way to Paris and London. The English steam-boat, which has been expected for some weeks past at Vigo, and which has caused the autho , rities there to resort to such extraordinary measures of precaution, has proceeded direct to Lisbon, without touch ing on any part of Galicia. TRIESTE, SEPT. 23.—We are again assured that Lord Cochrane has arrived in the Archipelago.

" Hellenists f Odd, vrishes that we should be free, but to attain freedom it is necessary that there should be ge neral union of sentiment and of strength, The civilized people of the earth accompany us in our efforts by their most sincere good wishes, and by all the other means fir their power. The rich and poor alike deposit each their offerings in the hands of particular Committees. We have already felt the effects of that love which nations bear towards us. geirtral vessels, lately arrived in our harbour, freighted with, provisidri4 and other things necessary for war, and sent by the Philhellenic Committees of France, Switzerland, and Gerrttaiiy, 'loudly proclaim the justice and character of our cause. If, howeiref, sve have not the will to be free, what avail all these kindnesses Advance, let us proceed against the enemies, and let our footsteps be g9ided by the firm reso lution to die, or live as freemen ; let ne devote ourselves to our country, and demonstrate to the astonished world that we are still the same men who have for five years sus. tamed the glorious contest. It is by time, and in the midst of an enemy's ravaging fire, by measuring ourselves front to front with the barbarians, that the real defenders of our country can distinguish themselves. Let us not ex pect that in a slothful life spent in cities, trying to amass wealth, chaste liberty will be found distributing the bene fits of permanent peace: If we succumb in this conflict, Hellenists! to what purpose will our riches serve ? Where will then be a country to receive us ? Europe ! you will have disappointed her expectations . Will America ? Yes ; but the picture of liberty enjoyed in that world, so fertile in illustrious patriots, will augment our remorse and our misfortunes. Where, then, will you go to hide your shame ? Is it in Asia, bent beneath an ignominious yoke, and obedient to the ferocious caprice of your misters, that you will drag on the remainder of a life oppressed with opprobrium and contempt? No, it is on this soil, in Greece only, that we can obtain happiness; it is placed before us—and the feebleness of our enemy bears testimo ny of the feasibility of our attempt. Moments are pre .cious—to-morrow s may perhaps usher in greater obstacles to be opposed. " Citizens !—I leave Nauplia and go amid dangers, accompanied by the brave fellows who will follow me to seek for victory or death. Let all those whose hearts yet beat to the sweet name of liberty, take up arms; the field of victory is open for us, let us all run to the voice which calls us, and draw down the benediction of an entire world, which waits impatiently for the moment when we may enter into the rank of free nations, and acquire an immortal glory. You, who, capable of bearing arms, still carouse in the cafes and taverns of Nauplia, will you become the eter nal opprobium of the Grecian name, and objects of the malediction of our feeble compatriots ? No ! do not belie the blood-which runs in our veins; resume those arms now rusted from inaction, and let us all die or purify the atmos• phere of slavery with which we are encompassed. " Nauplia, July 14." " TH. COLOCOTRONI.' (From the Journal des Debate.) VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—(Private Letter.) —It is confi dentially stated that the Infant Don Miguel has been invited by a letter from his sister, the Infanta Regent, to make a formal declaration within three days relative to his taking the oath to the Constitutional Charter granted to Portugal by his brother Don Pedro. It is added that Don Miguel sent his answer to Lisbon on the 17th of September, in which, without protesting formally against the Constitution, he declares that he has made a direct communication to hitt brother, the Empefor of Brazil, with regard to his claims to the Regency, during a long absence in the minority of the Monarch, and that he waits his answer. The Prince finishes his letter by declaring that he will be guided in his measures by the advice of his illustrious protector the Emperor of 'Austria, who bad not then returned to Vienna. The Minister of Portugal at Vienna, Baron de Villa Secca, has sent .this answer to Lisbon by a courier, who set out on the 17th of Sep tember. The Metalliques have gone up to 891. There is no favourable news here even from Turkey. (From the Journal des Debate.) NIADRID, SEPT. 25.—A French courier, who arrived on the 21st, has brought the official notification of the con currence of the French Government in the changes made in .Portugal; for although this concurrence was already- known, it had not been notified officially here. Immediately after M. de Moustier transmitted this no- . tification, the Council of Ministers was assembled. The sitting was very long, and all the Ministers, except M. Calomarde, decided that a strict neutrality should be main tained with respect to Portugal. Meanwhile, on the same day, the result of the Council of Ministers was submitted to his Majesty. It was ex pected that the King would sanction what his Ministers bad agreed on, but his Majesty gave orders to send back the whole of the papers to be examined by the Council of State, which has met three days in succesion, without coming to any decision. The importance which the un expected decision of his Majesty gives to the Council, has greatly restored the courage of the Apostolic party. It was cast down again, however, by the Russian courier, who brought, as you know, the concurrence of the Russian Government. Some tumults took place last week, 'at San Ildefonso ; they arose out of the misconduct of the Garde du Corps, who, imitating the example given them by the Royalist Volunteers, in numerous parts of the Peninsula, have as sembled in a riotous manner, in several of the coffee-houses, with cries of—" Long live the King"—" Down with the Chambers"—Death to the Liberals"—and " Down with the Ministry." In the evening they .went in a crowd to the Theatre, where the same ribting, and the same cries were renewed. Immediate information was given; and a Colonel and a Captain, who were discovered as the authors and directors of the tumult, were condemned to, four years' imprison ment in the Fort of Penas de San Nam. The Portuguese soldiers, who have taken refuge in our countiy, receive nothing from Government but country provisions. They get no assistance in money, to their great discontent. PA T ITQUA F E AT BoGOTA.—It appears by letters from Bogota, that two fresh shocks of an earthquake were felt in that city on Saturday, the 17th July; both of them were severe. There was an interval of about 1$ or 20 seconds between them. They took place about a quarter before eleven,'r. at. " The latter," says the writer of one of these letters, " was much more severe, and of longer duration than the former ; it threw down the small chapel on the summit of the mountain of Guadeloupe, and caused some damage to the houses and convents. The churches, including the Cathedral built_a few years since, receiv ed a great deal of injury; and, had another shock occurred, ifpro .flr habir,ral would have fallen. The inhabi tants, in consterna tion,from their houses, and great numbers passed the night in the squares and gardens. We have only heard of two or three who had met with accidents, and these were sustained in their burry to escape. It appears thet the earthquake has caused some injury in the neighbouring villages, tha churches of which being lone buildings, and of slight materials, are not calculated to resist a convulsion of this nature. The heavy rains, whichhays succeeded f o rtunately, is not very common in the highest the very dry weather we had s o lon g , ma y account for t his awful occurrence, which, part of the Cordillera, in which this city is situated. It may be considered as one of the many advantages of its position. We have heard that a few leagues distance, at a p lace called Cs ce._ dro, a large crevi ce has been discovered in th e eart h, an d, al though we do no t exactl y know its dimensions, w e mention i t, as v it ap m o a u y rs htewndich allay our apprehensions for the fut ure ; for the are comprised in the bowels of the earth, are, un douhtetily, the cause of earth q uakes ; finding now a vent , it is likely a ra vages they occasioned when confined will not be ag m e d. Yesterday, after th e p rece di ng remarks h a d been r a nother shock was felt, ab ou t ten m i nutes to five in the mo rning. The damage done hy it we h e ar to be considerable. The Cathedral has sustained much additio na l i n jury, but we are not aware at present that any part hasfallen. Part of the Con vent of San Juan de Dios, and sever a l o th er M ac hos and Con vents,repeated. the bare suffered materially ; the houses of private individual., have, of course, shared in the general destruction. We do not know whether any lives have been lost.
